Where are yall mounting them and how many? I bought some that are like 21" long. I've got some ideas just wondering what everybody else is doing.

i mounted ones a lot longer thn that under my catwalks.

If you haven't opened them and can send them back, do. Ching chong on Ebay has a 20 ft strips for something like $10. Get you a couple of those and you run them around the entire gun rail. Just an idea.

Yeah I haven't opened them and I saw those long ones that you can cut

I used the 21" strips as well it took me 7 to do mine and I put them under the catwalk and front deck. I just soldered the strips together make a longer strip. yes the 20ft strip would of been the easiest route to take and would eliminated a lot of the soldering process but that only took me about 15 min to do.

I got a 16' role of of Amazon for like $15

X2 on the 16 ft amazon ones.

.

no just from bitterness of being launched from there for bitching about every thread being a bitch about this place or Dean - bunch of red neck pecker woods

These are the 16' strip off Amazon I cut it in the middle

the Amazon led strips are pretty easy to work with - they cut clean and use a little silicone to secure in place - I used door bell wire to wire them in,

Has anybody had both red and green, for comparison?

Red white and blue all at one time would be sweet...

The ones I got off Ebay can do a wide range. Here is a link:

Dumb question but how do these hook up to a battery source?

postive to postive negative to negative

I guess I should have clarified...do they come with cables that hook straight to the battery? Or do I need to buy some adapter? Thanks

they come with about 6" of wire coming of both sides . you just need to add the correct connector for you application.

Anyone have the link to the particular brand they like? I know they are pretty generic it seems but all yalls look good.

I get mine from superbrightleds.com
Pay quite a bit more but I like red, and the smaller chipset outshines the cheaper larger chipset, and that's where I get all of mine, I did install the supernight leds from amazon in 3 different friends boats so far but those were green and white, their green is bright as shit, and $15 a 15ft roll.

Rspade connectors basically, if I tried to explain my wiring diagram of my boat it wouldn't happen, just hook your positive to positive and negative to negative, just like anything else.

Can you cut them up in different lengths and solder pigtails on them for multiple locations?

the ones I had, yes. There are designed marks where you had to cut. But you would have to gently cut back some the the plastic to expose the terminals and then solder new wires to it.

.

For the guys that are mounting them under the catwalks, are yall centering them under the walk or what?

Wait til dark, play with placement and figure out where you like your light, peel then place. Easiest way to me.

do y'all run a surge breaker on these?

For long term reliablity, best to run waterproof fuse holders to stop corrosion. Especially if running in salt water . I also spray contacts with a little corrosion x before I close water proof lid. They are only about 2-5 bucks a fuse a fuse holder.

Pictures of my boat layout. I wired one set backwards for a comparison shot. Supernight rgb leds. 12 different colors plus a dimming option.
